玉米人 Douban
Hombres de maíz
★ 8.2 (11 ratings) author: [危地马拉] 米格尔·安赫尔·阿斯图里亚斯 translator: 刘习良 / 笋季英 publishing house: 上海译文出版社 2013
《玉米人》是1967年诺贝尔文学奖得主、拉丁美洲魔幻现实主义文学流派的主要开创人米盖尔·安赫尔·阿斯图里亚斯的代表作品,堪称艺术精品。
故事的主线是印第安人与土生白人因为种植玉米而产生的矛盾与斗争。印第安人种植玉米是为了糊口和生存,在他们的宗教信仰中,玉米是由人变化而成,同时人靠食用玉米而生存。而土生白人却并不这么想,他们种植玉米是为了牟取暴利。为此,以加斯帕尔•伊龙酋长为首的印第安人同白人势力之间发生了你死我活的斗争。
全书还讲述了很多带有传奇色彩的小故事。如马丘洪的传说和野狼邮差的传说。马乔洪在去寻找未婚妻的路上被一团萤火虫包围而消失。传说他变成了幽灵,全身闪闪发光,常常出现在被点燃的玉米田里。野狼邮差的妻子离奇失踪。失魂落魄的邮差在寻找妻子的路上迷失在了群山之中。村里派去找他的人说,他已经变成了一只丛林野狼。

"It's just a matter of trial and error. You try something, it doesn't work. You try it another way, maybe it works even less well, or maybe it works a little bit better. It really is the dark room that Henry James describes. It's a sort of groping, and continuously trying things out, and understanding why something fails. The key is to try to understand what are the elements that are failing, and why, and then you move on to the next draft with a little bit more of clarity."
